| Abstract |
This chapter deals with the way the oil and gas industry applies general knowledge about deep-sea sediments to the exploration, appraisal and production of hydrocarbon reservoirs initially deposited in the deep sea. As a positive feedback, the data acquired by the industry in its search for deep-water hydrocarbon fields provides a wealth of data, 3-D seismic in particular, which greatly help the research efforts of the scientific community.The main specificity of the approach of the hydrocarbon industry probably lies in the strong focus put on reservoir, i.e. mostly sandy siliciclastic, deposits. A great deal of effort is put into finding deep-sea sands in a favourable position with source rocks and trapping geometry, then assessing in the best possible way their geometry at all scales so as optimize hydrocarbon recovery. All the rest is good, standard science. |
